It's not really money stolen from Bev if they never had that 'customer' in the first place, it's only a POTENTIAL loss of revenue and as such should have NO effect on their need to constantly raise prices.
Since they have twice as many subs as *C, how is it they are loosing money?
Quite simply, too many subs actually cost a pail of money and that is why *C was, is and will continue to turn a profit because they intentionally limit/manage customer growth in a controlled manner and the growth rate, while trailing Bev is just fine and dandy for them.
If the pirates are stealing money from BEV, aren't they also stealing from Rogers, Shaw, Cogeco, Starchoice and all other TV providers, since their TV is 'free' they are less likely to pay ANY provider?
The funny thing is they Steal from BEV, because it's just plain childs play to do so, but end up hurting everybody else and not just Bev.
So Bev in turn feels THOSE subs should be their god given right and in compensation raise the rates for all the legit subs.
